Despite non-tendering second baseman Brendan Rodgers over the off-season, the Colorado Rockies entered spring training in 2025 with what seemed like a surplus of infield goods. Now one month into the regular season and with a miserable 4-23 record, the Rockies’ depth is being stretched to its limits.
Thairo Estrada was signed to play second base over the off-season as a stop-gap with the departure of Rodgers. He suffered a wrist fracture during spring training after being hit by a pitch and was given a 4-8 week timeline for return. Unfortunately, the fracture is not healing as quickly as anticipated, and he was moved to the 60-day injured list last week.
